Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi BM5...glad you are ok, that must have been scary~!! Wow, you crack me up with your Bding. I'm surprised you don't have 10 kids-LOL. Stay well! Hopeful...about the nipple question. they do get darker and I could understand about the gland being darker but the scab is unusual. I don't think anything totally alarming but there must be some kind of opening and you don't want infection so I'd mention it at your next weeks appointment. Don't worry though, I doubt it would be something serious but like I said, you don't want any germs in there. thats great your dh is home, you must have missed him. We are in the midst of major snow, the kids love it. Hope you all have a great day XOXO

Hopeful, I read about someone else having a similar problem with the nips. I do believe her doc told her that her b___bies were practicing making colostrum. She was concerned because they were dry and cracked. You need to moisturize those puppies. I imagine the scab would be from the colostrum drying and cracking the skin. maybe put some Neosporin on it and moisturize it as it heals. That's what I would do until I got to see the doc. Since I put Sesame oil on my belly every night after my shower, I also rub it on my b___bies so they won't get dry and to help prevent stretchmarks as they grow. Ugh, I took a Benadryl yesterday to try to ease the sinus headache I was having and the baby's movements have slowed a lot. That's the last time I take that c___p again. The doc approved that too, but gosh, how much sh** do I have to take in order to feel ok? Between my back, my sinuses, and my headaches, something's got to give. I do not like having to medicate at all. BM5.....girl slow down on the love making, you're making me look bad! LM3......I got so sick of scheduled s_x that when it came time for husband to do the cup thing, I was glad we had reached that point! You rest now and enjoy your TWW. I have an U/S today at 3pm for growth. Must eat my breakfast.....check back in a bit.

BM5 - hope all goes well with your counselor this evening and that you can keep your dosages to a minimum. Wow - that fall you had sounds nasty! Maybe I shouldn't be wishing for snow but I have to say I'm still a little jealous of the snow that you and lovemy3 have - we STILL haven't got any!!!!!!!!!! Amazing! I think it could be February before any arrives! (Mind you, if it had come while my husband was away I'd've had a tough time finding someone who was prepared to clear the yard and carpark for me so it's a good job really!!) Hope your backside recovers soon - take it easy on the ice!! **** lovemy3 - Thanks as always for the rea__surances. I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry about as it's only the size of a pinhead. Also I just had a shower and it appears to have cleared up most of it. I'm hoping that in a few days it will have gone away and then I'll just be left with the dark glands and nipples. I'll still get the doctor to check them though, as you say, and I'll also make sure it doesn't get infected. Thanks again. Anyway, must go - hubbie to arrive in 2 hours and I want to make sure that everything is done so our night can be peaceful!! TTYL!

Tracy - we crossed paths while posting. Thank you very much for your advice. As you say, I think I should moisturise but I'll wait until it's totally healed to avoid infection and I don't think that will be long. So sorry to hear about all your aches and pains. I hope they ease soon. Good luck with your U/S today - enjoy it - I can't wait for my next one next week. Thanks again for your thoughts. XOXOXOX

hey there. Hopeful...that size sounds like nothing to worry about. Hope your dh gets hokme safe and sound and you guys have a nice night togther. tracy...good luck today at your appt. I totally agree with the cup thing, it really is too much. I mostly find it stressful due to timing. JHow is your weather? Where in Florida are oyu. I loved our Florida weather...it is freezing and we've gotten 15cm of snow just this a.m. Brrrr.

hey all i hope everyone is doing OK.....and to those of you with the snow keep it !!!!and for those wanting it ARE U CRAZY? it was 69 here today and i loved it !!!! well all is going good the MIL is not speaking to us which dont bother me one bit but my hubby won't admit it but i think it bothers him but he is still mad at her too.......she has disliked me from day 1 so there is no love lost on my part and she has done this to us so no one can blame me with this because she and i dont get along............bm5 hope your tush feels better be careful next time see if you and hubby had made it to #5 for the day you wouldn't have been outside to take a spill down the steps........and by the way how do you manage 4 times a day i couldn't manage 4 a week.....now with my DD i prob could have but this pregnancy is different ..........hopeful have you tried the lanolin (sp?) that they reccommend for b___st feeding mothers it may help the nips..........tracy88 hope everything is drying up good for you .......and anyone that i missed hope everything is OK and big huggs to all ((((((HUGS))))))))) and lots and lots of baby dust to our TCCers...........bye

LM3 and all.......the ultrasound went well. Baby was active and measuring on track. The tech still agrees that it's a girl too. LM3....Were you asking me where in Florida we are? We are about two and half hours south of Orlando in Jupiter, which is just north of the Palm Beaches. I realize that you probably needed to thaw out from the cold, but living in warmth through the holidays every single year, really robs a person of the holiday experience. There's nothing like a white, or even cold Christmas season. Why don't we just trade houses???

Punkin, I missed your post. You are right, if BM5 would have been having s_x she probably would not have fallen!!! Wow, you guys are generous with the nookie, I was lucky to be giving it up twice a week before all this TTC stuff happened. Then it got scheduled and boring, and now we are down to zero, nada, nil, zip!!!! I am perfectly content with it this way because I know that once the baby is born, I will be in attack mode and a new woman. TTC really threw a monkey wrench into our love making after about the first year. BM%....no more falling either, that's cary and dangerous. Punkin, apparently I am crazy for wanting snow, but I would even settle for the 60's like you have. We are in the 80's right now, and although it's not too hot, it's still a little redundant. It's the same thing day-in and day-out! Also sorry you don't get along with your MIL. What do you think her beef is with you? I am so fortunate to have in laws that I like who like me back. Just luck of the draw I guess.

Wow, Punkin, sounds like this lady and her other son need to be kicked to the curb and written off to be honest. I know that's his mother, but she sure isn't acting like a mother should. She is putting your husband, you, and her grandkids in a bad situation by taking advantage of all your husband does, and has done, for her and Lazy Brother. In my opinion, your husband should give her time, but tell her and Lazy she needs to get out. Your lives are being ruined by their behavior and you all will be left to suffer the consequences long after she is gone if you don't stop it all now. I mean, look how you guys are already suffering due to their negligence. Lazy brother will stay lazy as long as he can too. He needs someone to pull the rug out from under him and shock him into reality. Sorry, I know all this is easier said than done when it comes to family, but now I'm mad at how you guys are being treated. Your husband should do or say something, regardless of whether it's his mother or not. That's just my opinion though.....take it or leave it. I wish you luck with this situation. I really do.

Punkin, I think what bothers me the most is that your husband's family is not thinking about what this is all doing to your husband and his quality of life. It's like they don't care and will continue to use him as long as they can. That's not love. For them to ruin your prospects for getting home insurance and having medical bills put in his name is quite frankly bullsh**.

tracy88 ....i know and he did say something when the insurance thing came up and then she cried and boohooed and he felt guilty and kinda dropped the subject but the medical bill he is p__sed and we went friday nite to their house to confront her and she cried and done her drama queen c___p and he sat there and just looked at her like she was nuts then she started in that she wished she was dead and they should have let her die after the wreck ( it wasn't THAT bad of a wreck) and i thought he would cave but he didnt he tried to tell her bye when we left and she would speak to him .....he is still very p__sed but it is his mom and he has asked me several times "was i too mean" or "did i do the right thing" and i keep telling him he has done the right thing........yeah i agree bout brother but his mom defends him and if anything is said like her needs to get a job ,help out or whatever he will start faking an injury like wrapping up his ankle and walking on crutches or whatever ....then his mom says he cat work he hurt his foot or some BS like that takes up for him.......you know what scares me to death is that IF something happens to his mom and IF she dont have the life insurance to pay off the mobile home (which i seriously doubt) then lazy will not work and we cant pay for 2 homes .....just say we cant find a buyer and it comes repo time then that hurts us yet again.....my hubby is so down about it all because he realizes all of this and worries him because he wants to provide for his family and he too is afraid of somethong like that happening .....we wouldn't be able to finance a candy bar....he said he dont regret helping his mom out of the abuse but he wished he would have helped her rent a place not finance a home for her and that would be ALOT of stress off of him .....but its like as long as it benefits her or lazy then she dont care about us and like i said she resents me because she was sponging off my hubby and now she cant do it anymore .....she has come to him several time to borrow money and he tells her no to make lazy get a job ....that he (my hubby ) has a family to support and cant support them anymore........you dont know how much better i feel since i got to vent to you .....i watch what i say to hubby because it is his mom and he worries so much anyway i dont like to harp on it 24/7 thanks for lending an ear............

dont take me wrong he is p__sed bout the insurance thing too but its all adding up and i dont think the boo hooing worked this time

Glad I can somehow make you feel better Punkin. Venting occurs here every now and then:))))

Good morning everyone. CD24 here and nothing interesting to report. How are y'all today? Anybody know anything about baby aspirin and ttcing? I have taken it from 20 weeks on for preeclampsia but not right after ovulation and I have heard some women talk about it for ttcing purposes. Anybody know the scoop? xoxo

Morning everyone! Well ladies, exactly 11 years ago was the last time I was in labor. I had my dd at about 2pm. It was my 2nd VBAC and I had an epideral with my 2nd, but didn't have enough time with her, before I knew it I was pushing her out....wow, memories. If someone had told me then that 11 years later I'd be pregnant doing it again, I probably would laughed in their face. Funny how our paths change. LM3, sorry I can't help out with the aspirin thing, I just know it thins the blood, not sure what that may have to do with ttcing. Thanks for your post on my other thread, it's helpful to hear things from people that know some of your history. We went to the counselor last night, dh came with me. She agreed that perhaps I was overreacting (ya think?) and that he really didn't do anything wrong, other than having compa__sion for children that have been in his life for so long, so time for me to choke it up. She said talking about it is best. I asked about going on meds and she doesn't think it's necessary yet and that I could probably wait awhile longer to see how it goes. As sporadic as these "fits" are, they could just be random and not really part of being bipolar. So I was happy to hear that. punkin-wow, what a situation you're in! I feel for you-it brings back memories. My ex of 7 years had a mother AND brother like that (what are the odds!). His mother even sold his yacht out from under him when he was incarcerated. Her and his brother racked up tons of bills, phone bills, cell phone bills, utility bills, medical bills, you name it. It was a tough situation being his mother and all. But of course, because of that, he forgave her and I'm not sure I wouldn't have done the same. When its family, it makes it twice as hard. I think about my kids and if they were to do something way out of line. How would I feel, their my kids, so of course I would love them still, but where do you draw the line? I sure hope it all works out for you and dh. And don't worry about venting, that's what we're here for. Tracy88-I'm so glad that you're u/s went good! And to get it confirmed again that you're having a girl, now maybe you can go out and shop? And we got more snow, but I promise I'll be more careful! I'm one of those, admiring the snow from afar kind of gals anyways--like from a nice warm bed, snuggled with dh-LOL As far as b-ding, remember all, I was in a longterm relationship without any for about 3 years, so I've got lots of catching up! I guess I just got lucky to find someone who enjoys it as much as I do! LOL And LM3, you're right, it's a good thing you can't get pregnant when you're already pregnant, or surely I'd have 10 kids. I think after this one, we'd better decide on any more and if not, take some more permanent precautions :) Have a great day everyone!! Hugs

You sound in good spirits BM5, and that is true about sporadic fits...could be unrelated to bipolar but pregancy hormones. Sounds like you are on top of it and doing well. Glad to help out whenever I can. Nothing here but snow shovelling-LOL. Hope you are all well xox
